Imagine being the demon that Kissinger sold his soul to. You walk around in a skin suit for decades, maximizing death and suffering all over the world. Then, you get a colossal, global prize that says peace on it.
He’s not buying a drink in hell for the rest of his demon life.
My first response is to do it to show how brutal and terrible it is to wake people up. Then, I remember how many people who tie their identities to not waking up and how this would normalize murder for them.
Trump Intelligence, Trump gas prices, Trump ICE murders. Put his name all over everything. In gold.
It’s hilarious that the final boss for AI could end up being The Mouse and Associates.
It feels disgusting to root for the copyright legions. Sign of the times.
The slow creep was real. Social media corporations brought the mainstream to the internet in the worst possible way, but the old internet was still alive in forums and chats and discussion groups that had been around for years.
Reddit destroyed it. It gathered everyone into one place. It was constantly growing and pulled users from everywhere else in the internet to one place. Centralization. Then, it inevitably went corpo to the point that the greed of the ones on top destroyed the communities they gathered and exploited to put themselves in their elevated positions of wealth.
To be clear, the people with the money don’t care at all. They cashed out and got theirs. Everything burns around their greed, no different from oil companies.
The internet was supposed to connect everyone, share ideas, connect the world to collective knowledge, and bring us all together. Instead, it became a tool of corporatist and fascist control. Reddit ultimately ended up being the corpo that crushed and scattered the opposition.
The pact Newt made with the demon that shares his body has extended his lifespan but not forever.
They should have added Palmer Luckey to the headline. Extremely concerning that he has a prominent voice in the future of the US military and access to top level sensitive information.
If people are unfamiliar with him, they should do a brief search. It deepens what a terrible idea this is.
I’ve taught my body to live with far less sleep than most, but I’m not under any illusion that it’s healthy. I’ve seen the studies. I know how important sleep is.
I have responsibilities in the morning, and I’ll go mad if I don’t have some time to myself at night. It shouldn’t be this way, but it is. I’d feel like a robot otherwise.
Ed Sheeran is and always has been a hobbit. His aversion to taking positions on conflict of any kind only affirms it.
Scandal that would have destroyed any and every politician prior to 2017 #314,231
Trump is the Sulla of the American empire. He won’t actually become emperor, but he slayed all the sacred cows and set the stage for someone else.
Hopefully the next is more Julius Caesar than Kushner or Vance. Or democracy gets saved in the US, but that seems like a long shot at this point long term.
Raising the boards with the lads. Any internships available that give you access to sensitive corporate information?
Remember when people got curious which countries/cities were producing the most content on Reddit, and the result came back that it was a US Air Force base? And that was way, way before Kegsbreath.
It’s the abundant precious metals that can be found in Flock cameras. Gold, copper, I’ve heard there might be diamonds in them. Only one way to find out.
Renaming bodies of water is incredibly stupid, but the names were arbitrary to begin with and probably not legally binding.
States have their own sovereignty, constitutions, and laws. You can’t overcome that with an executive order. You shouldn’t be able to overcome that with an act of Congress signed by the president.
“We’ve found an abundant pocket of water on Mars. Enough to sustain our proposed data centers for a few decades.”
The worst part was having to clean the gunk off your yolk to up the mouse’s responsiveness.
Russia pays the bot farms and some of the mouthpieces. Tim Pool and his ilk that got caught taking money from Moscow.
“Go away! Baitin’!”
Congress needs to pass and the president needs to sign a bill establishing ethics rules for the Supreme Court that also has an enforcement mechanism.
It will take a few years of positive election results, but it can be done.
I know that feeling. The key to snapping out of it is momentum. Make forward progress.
Get one small win. The easiest thing you need to do. Then go after another easy one. Gain some momentum in problem solving and take bigger things on. It’s too much all at once, but it’s doable in small steps.
